Validation of aseptic fillers intended for the production of low-acid, shelf-stable products is a core requirement of the FDA’s low-acid canned food (LACF) regulations (21CFR113 and 108.35). Microbiological challenges of the aseptic zone and packaging material sterilization cycles are important components of the validation process. These challenges are often conducted at the production site using non-pathogenic surrogate organisms that mimic the resistance of the pertinent target pathogen. This presentation will provide a brief history of the use of such surrogates for the validation of low-acid aseptic fillers along with the approach we have used to qualify the surrogates as adequate for the intended technology.”
New options for sweetening low-sugar foods have entered the market. Testing of sweetener ingredients and the finished product is key.
While many vitamins are traditionally sourced from animal products, plant-based vitamin sources are a growing trend. Learn more about this new trend and what this means in regard to testing your products.
Method validation, method verification and fitness for purpose all seem similar, but each requires a distinct level of evaluation and different considerations. Learn more about their similarities and differences in this article.
Candies can now give you more than a sugar rush. Functional chocolates also have vitamins, minerals, and botanicals and with that means the need for suitable validated methods to verify claims.

Food and supplement testing has been a necessary part of the safe supply chain which means so have the chemicals that go along with this and until today, there have been very few options that positively affect the environment. Supercritical Fluid Extraction with Supercritical Fluid Chromatography now offers an environmentally safer method that is also faster, as sensitive and as selective as your current methods. We present an alternative way to extract and measure vitamins.
Join our team of presenters at Eurofins Microbiology Laboratories for an in-depth webinar all about rapid microbiological methods. They presented on the range of methods available, as well as the technologies behind them, while also exploring factors that affect their performance. Learn what to consider when selecting a rapid method such as sensitivity, validation status, and speed. Practical considerations around the method applications will be addressed.
